New fast food discussion/review thread

OK OOT, it's been a while since we had a devoted fast food thread around here and I think it's time we had a new one.

BTW, they charged me one dollar American for the cheese.


Rick's not having even a weekly offer of free medium fries with purchase is really grinding my gears.

It's only shows up in the app on Friday when you can use it. A once weekly any day you want to use it would be much better.


If you're health-conscious, checking waffle house nutrition details is a smart move. They provide nutritional facts for each item, helping you choose wisely. Stay informed before your next meal.

Oh man! Is that in your app? Seems like we seldom get the Phoenix deals here, at least not on the same days.


Only posting my usual costco cheap meal for maybe the 20th time. Passing through the Christiana mall location in Delaware. Can confirm change to coke complete. Excellent diet coke

Got a free any size fries with soft drink purchase today and threw 95% of them away. Woefully undercooked.

If I hadn't paid $0.00 American a McMuffin-patented stern letter to corporate about my experience would be in order.

That hot dog is embarrassingly naked. What's up with that?


I'm an admittedly a hot dog weirdo. Most of the times, just plain. Sometimes with cheese and bacon. Not really a mustard or ketchup dog guy.


Whopper with cheese 100% of the time. If you don't want to pay, stash some American cheez slices and you're good to go.

If you order it off the broiler, which everyone should do by default, your patty will be hot and they won't microwave your burger to make the cheese melt.

Slap that warm cheese on that off the broiler meat and you're in value heaven.

Note I worked at BK, we always microwaved the burgers with cheez. It's super obvious sometimes when the cheez is splattered against the wrapper

In sad news, I ran the 2x jbc for $8 at Wendy's, free medium fries.

Good; came with medium soda and fries
Bad: the jbc were tiny and the buns fatter. When I was a young one the bacon and lettuce would stick outside the bun, plus neither had lettuce!

It tasted fine after removing a bun, but I was annoyed they didn't have lettuce. Not so annoyed to complain

Tldr; jbc are now mostly bread. Sadge


A Whopper to me is beef (off the broiler naturally), lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, and mayo that creates something unique to FF.

Most of the time if I'm having a hot dog it will have chili and usually cheese so mustard is the only condiment needed on that but for a regular hot dog mustard and ketchup is fine. For corn dogs I put a stripe of each on it. The ketchup on a hot dog is unacceptable crowd is too much. Let's reserve those type of judgments for real food crimes like pineapple on pizza.


Pineapple pizza politics have always annoyed me.


Same. I just personally don't like the taste of pineapple so it doesn't belong on anything for me.

I saw somewhere (maybe here?) that the lettuce Wendy’s was getting was ruined by some climate event or something, maybe vaccines, who knows, but they were using worse lettuce now or maybe none at all in your case. Some kinda Wendy’s lettuce shortage.


Hey I already said I admit I'm weird about my naked hot dogs. But who doesn't put cheese on their whoppers? Weirdos. It's the fact that they charge for it that sucks


Wendy's used to be so good

what a ridiculous fall from grace on all fronts

Sonic is on my shitlist right now. Two of their best deals, 1/2 price drinks through the app and 1/2 price burgers on Tuesdays after 5:00, are now considered offers you have to redeem instead of automatically applied deals. Meaning you can't combine them. If the wife and I are stopping for drinks and we want them for 1/2 price we have to put it separate orders.

I don't know about the rest of the menu but I've been there 4 of the past 5 mornings for the $1 biscuits.


If I want a cheese whopper, I would hack the ingredients of the 1/4lb cheeseburger. It's cheaper and the exact same meat/bun.

I will also sub mustard for mayo on the whopper on random occasions.

I’m a huge cheeseburger guy but I do not put cheese on a Whopper.

That’s like putting a hat on a hat.

This is me too. I think it's literally the only example where I prefer a burger w/o cheese to w/ cheese. I don't know what it is.

I even have to re-convince myself of this every 3 or 4 years when I get the unshakable urge to put cheese on a whopper even though I know in my head I won't like it as much. 100% of the time I re-learn, no cheese on a whopper.

Wait, BK has a 1/4 cheeseburger that isn't a whopper? And it's one big patty not two small ones? That can't be right, I've never seen such a thing.


I'm unreasonably excited to try Walmart generic Raisin' Canes sauce I snagged a bottle of while randomly in a Walmart last week. Will be cracking it open tonight!

I don't have a Cane's near me. I'm trying to decide if I should splurge on good chicken tenders from Wingstop (unsauced) which will end up running me $20+, or just go with the 20-nuggets and 2 medium fries for $12 McD is offering up. I'm leaning on cheaping out...
